I’ve been there. Twice.
Ben Lindbergh covers baseball for The Ringer, and he’s actually really good. Ben’s been on Jonah’s podcast and vice versa. Worst. Rivalry. Ever.
As a Nebraska fan, I’m hoping Northwestern wins a game so Nebraska will be the sole major conference school without a NCAA tourney win (depending on how you categorize the AAC).
A priest, a Rabbi, and an atheist walk into a St. Louis bar.
Life in Brownbackistan isn’t much better. I’m a proponent of the KC metro seceding and becoming its own city-state. It would put an end to the stupid corporate border jumping and aforementioned liquor law quagmire.
Does the trans woman cashier still work there? She was my favorite.
Even though I prefer the Hen House in Corinth, I go to the Hyvee on State Line because that liquor store is fantastic.
Bruce bought me a shot once when he was in KC. He’s the best.
I live in the Kansas City area, and my house is less than a block from State Line Road. I can either go to a good grocery store (Kansas side) and have to make a second stop at the liquor store OR go to a store that smells like rotten milk and meth (Missouri!) but sells booze.
Robert Redford is ginger-ish.
The best advice I got as an engineering intern was “for the first three years, go to every happy hour / holiday party / lunch / kickball game.” It will make a huge difference come the inevitable layoff purges or when you’re looking for the next gig and SURPRISE! one of your former co-workers happens to be there too.
His Nerdist interview is also fantastic. Highly rec’d.
Your post reminds me of the hack joke I hear every time I tell someone I’m a Nebraska grad.
Kansas is the Duke of the Midwest.
Call it the Kirk Hinrich Memorial Award. Honorable Mention to Sherron Collins.
Just yesterday I had JJ’s delivered to my office and the driver lost my chips. So I called him after he left and he said he’d come back with some after he was done with that round of deliveries, which of course never happened. Fuckers.
